The Republic of Kluz is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Czar with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 33.227 billion Kluzians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 47.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Kluzian economy, worth a remarkable 4,346 trillion Kluz Zloties a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 130,819 Kluz Zloties, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 410,242 per year while the poor average 31,963, a ratio of 12.8 to 1.

'Asiatic Lionnado 6: You Gotta Be Kidding Me' is this summer's top-grossing movie, the wealthiest parts of the country receive the most government spending, workers can choose whether they prefer offices that smell of pungent body odor or whale vomit, and signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Kluz's national animal is the Asiatic Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kluz is ranked 6,478^th in the world and 38^th in Europe for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 7,224.18 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
